Superb work from the pack sees a scrum penalty won, which is kicked to touch by Shillcock.

That could be vital as we enter the final minute.

Gloucester hold firm at the scrum and begin successive phases that see them edge up to the 22, the likes of Mercer and Fasogbon met well by Leicester.

Eventually, the visitors try one pass too many and a knock on gives Tigers possession with two minutes left, a scrum on their own 22.

You can cut the tension here with a knife as both sides trade blows in midfield.

There are heavy carries and box kicks aplenty as both teams look to strike that final blow.

Eventually, a knock on sees the game halt for a scrum.

That's now back to back knock on's Tigers force through rock solid defence, superb work from the hosts.

Montoya is substituted to great applause, applause that is sustained for his replacement, Charlie Clare making his 100th Tigers appearance.

Tigers do brilliantly to turn defence into attack.

A turnover just outside their own 22 sees the ball played quickly, Liebenberg crashing up.

Manz then hits it up before Pollard fires it wide to Wand, who picks his line superbly and thunders through.

He makes it into the Gloucester half and smartly chooses to recycle the ball.

With the Cherry & Whites scrambling to cover, Pollard then opts to kick over the top into the space on the far touchline and Bassett smashes his opposite number into touch for a line out inside the 22.

Two slick moves in a the last few minutes almost result in scores but both are foiled by handling errors. 

The first sees Pollard fling a lovely ball to the blindside, who allows Liebenberg to put Bassett in space. The wing offloads back inside to a charging Chessum but his hands are knocked by visiting scrum half Williams and he knocks on.

As Gloucester clear, Bassett almost skips right through their line but for a tap tackle that sees the wing lose control of the ball.

As Gloucester just try and clear from the scrum, Tigers continue to batter up aggressively, the likes of Montoya and Cracknell getting through so much work in open play.

Carreras fires just wide and it remains an 11 point Gloucester lead.

Tommy Reffell initially repels a fluid Gloucester move, somehow manifesting on the far touchline to the original line out to get over the ball and turnover.

Pollard loses it in midfield but, from a booming clearance by Atkinson minutes later, the fly half catches and bulldozes through a tackle to make metres.

JVP then tries to play quick but this is then intercepted by Mercer who stabs a kick through but this rolls into over Tigers tryline and it's placed down for a goal line dropout, which Polly duly smashes back to halfway.

End to end stuff here at Mattioli Woods Welford Road!

The front row trifecta of Smith, Montoya and Heyes were destructive in the East Midlands derby last weekend and they've picked up where they left off today, winning a penalty at the set piece and allowing for Pollard to clear to touch past the halfway line.

From there, a second penalty is won after an infringement at the ruck and suddenly Tigers have an attacking line out inside the Gloucester 22.

We can see the early rain still playing a part here, as Gloucester field a Cracknell break well and manage to slide the No. 8 into touch.

As the visitors now try and launch an attack well into Tigers' half, the ball skids out of their hands and Tigers have a scrum in their own 22.

An early attack from Tigers is quelled by the visitors and Jack van Poortvliet tries a crafty nudge through.

It's fielded well by Carreras and cleared to the Tigers 22. However, the hosts come back firing; first a penalty is kicked to touch before the resulting lineout allows for relentless phases of pressure.

Tigers deliver physicality through Cracknell and Montoya, they go wide out to Liebenberg and Bassett and keep chipping away at the Gloucester defence, advancing to the 22.

Eventually the pressure tells and Tigers are awarded a penalty in front of the posts as the visitors look to spoil the ruck.

From biblical rain to pleasant sunshine, it's a lovely day in Leicester.

Two cracking matches coming up today; the first kicks off in just five minutes as a thrilling weekend of Gallagher Premiership action comes to a crescendo. Head down to Mattioli Woods Welford, tune in live on TNT Sports 1 or ITV!

A late change sees Dan Kelly enter the centres alongside Joe Woodward, Izaia Perese ruled out with a knock.

This change also sees Will Wand enter the replacements.

As well as all-important Gallagher Premiership points, it should be noted that today's contest with Gloucester will also see the Slater Cup on the line.

The Cherry & Whites currently hold the trophy, having triumphed in the last two meetings between the sides, adding an extra incentive to Tigers.

Throughout the ground, there are a number of bucket collectors, who are asking for donations to vital MND charities such as 4Ed, My Name'5 Doddie and MND Association. 

The rain has cleared and the sky is blue as we get set for our first Double Header of the season!

Tigers will face Harlequins in Premiership Women's Rugby but first up, in half an hour, we welcome Gloucester to Mattioli Woods Welford Road in round 5 of the Gallagher Premiership.
